Practise your pepeha

I have shared the pepeha slides that I share with you every day in class. If you need more feedback on how to change your pepeha for certain family members, please let me know. I will also post these slides in a separate blog post if you can’t open the file. So please practise your pepeha – see if you can learn it by heart!

Te Reo Māori on Education Perfect 

I have already set some te reo Māori lessons on Education Perfect. I set a new one last week and there is a new one today. Please let me know if you would like more lessons. Please let me know if you have any problems accessing these lessons. If you can’t access Education Perfect but you would like the word lists, please let me know.
